In Swedish, shorter adjectives usually add endings to make comparisons. But for longer adjectives, participles, and words ending in I S K, Swedish places the words 'mer', meaning more, and 'mest', meaning most, directly in front of the adjective. In this deck, you will learn to use 'mer' and 'mest' in everyday conversations.

Adjectives that end in the suffix I S K always form their comparative with 'mer' and their superlative with 'mest'. For example, 'praktisk' means practical, so 'mer praktisk' is more practical and 'mest praktisk' is most practical. If the subject is an ett-word or a general statement with 'det', the adjective takes a T, giving 'praktiskt'.

Other common adjectives ending in the suffix I S K follow the exact same pattern, such as 'typisk', 'romantisk', 'fantastisk', and 'ekonomisk'. You simply say 'mer romantisk' for more romantic, and 'mest typisk' for most typical. When comparing two things in a sentence, connect them with 'än', which means than.
